Like the idea but there is to much going on with that design for my liking. Sorry to say it looks like a bit of a miss match of parts and does not sit quite right, not 'OEM' enough looking enough for me.

If it looked more like an all in one piece like this it would be great -

Oh, and I think you would need some sort of roller blind on the inside you could draw accross otherwise it would get unbearable sat in the sun not being able to remove it!


That's does look good :)


who makes that sky roof?

If by Targa you mean can it be altered to split down the middle an go in the boot, well that's not something I am contemplating at the moment. My roof could be modified in that way I suppose. I suspect I will go to the national in 2013. Kind regards, Paul

Sorry - in my present version, the panel has to be left behind. One of the previous posts asked if it was Targa. My suggestion is that could be possible but not my intension right now. Kind regards, Paul

Paul, wouldn't the panel fit behind the seats? If my car was not at the garage I would go and try it.

Love the one on the Elise. Good effort but looks a bit Jeremy clarkson top gear for my liking. Also seeing a biscuit interior is bad enough :-).

Lol. Im not hes asked for peoples opinions before he starts manufacturing them and ive given mine. I wouldnt fancy a clear roof even if it was perfect but realise others might. I find it hard to believe that any body would be happy with that model. Good luck to paul and i think he started this because he wanted a clear roof not to sell so if hes happy then its all good. Would you buy it Kal ???? If not why?

Constructive critism is better than just saying it's crap ;)
